Cost of diploma
set to increase

Tuition will go up next year as the W tries to
offset budget cuts and rising expenses.
In what the College Board calls a “rebalancing”
of state money, the W’s appropriation for the
next fiscal year is being reduced by $136,000.
“We will stretch our dollars further through
efficiencies and reallocation but, ultimately,
there will be an increase in tuition,” said MUW
President Dr. Claudia Limbert in an email
interview.
This is the first reduction in a rebalancing
program that will favor larger schools such as
the University of Mississippi and take place
over the next six years. Assuming funding and
student credit hours remain the same after next
year, this will result in an overall reduction
for the W of $4 million by 2014 from the current
level of appropriations.
The new tuition amount, yet to be determined,
will not be the only change students will
notice.
